Film GreedThis event occurred in the past.

Decades after its 1924 release, Erich Von Stroheim's silent classic, “Greed” continued to have profound impact. Based on Frank Norris' novel, "McTeague," “Greed” tells the story of three World War I-era Californians whose friendship is destroyed by avarice after one wins a lottery jackpot. This is part of the library's Classics on Wednesdays Film Series, presented in 35 mm, with live piano accompaniment by Dave Drazin.
